i argued that it was smart of governor christie to embrace president obama during the hurricane sandy relief effort despite how much it angered republicans and i said that because in order for governor christie to seriously contend for the republicans presidential nomination in 2016 he has to win the re-election in 2013 in a blue state first, a state so blue it voted for president obama by a 17-point margin. the only problem with that segment was i didn't have any proof that governor christie's obama embrace actually played well with the new jersey voters. we knew it played with new york city voters, a full 89% approved of governor christie's performance but new york city as anyone who lives there would be so happy to tell you is not new jersey. so i hope you enjoyed the segment, but to be honest, it was a bit of guesswork on our part, a theory, a hypothesis. if i were to give it a grade, it would have to be incomplete. tonight i can complete at least part of that segment. today a national research poll of new jersey voters found christie's approval is at a record high. governor chris
